MITSHU 24cm Non-Stick Casserole with Toughened Glass Lid – MT-CR24

The Mitshu Casserole MT-CR24 is a 24 cm casserole for curries, soups and one-pot meals. Its toughened glass lid lets you see what is simmering inside. Choose this non stick casserole if you want everyday cookware that makes it easier to stir thick sauces and serve them straight from the pot.

The 24 cm diameter is useful when a recipe starts with several ingredients that need stirring before you add liquid. Soften sliced onions, stir in garlic and spices, then add chopped vegetables and stock. Cooking those steps in one pot keeps the browned bits and seasoning in the dish.

For a Sri Lankan vegetable curry, use the lid while pumpkin or potato pieces soften. You can see when the sauce starts bubbling and adjust the heat before it comes to a vigorous boil. When the vegetables are tender, uncover the pot if you want a thicker sauce.

The non-stick interior helps when you are working with a thick tomato base or a dhal that has reduced. A wooden spoon or silicone spatula lets you stir along the bottom and around the edges. The coating also helps when you scoop out the last serving.

Try the 24 cm casserole for a chickpea and spinach stew. Start with softened onion and a spoonful of your favourite spice mix, then add tomatoes and cooked chickpeas. Simmer until the sauce thickens and stir in the spinach towards the end so it keeps some texture.

The toughened glass lid is handy when dinner has several dishes cooking at once. You can glance at the casserole while checking rice or preparing a salad. If condensation clouds the lid, lift it away from you with a dry oven mitt so the steam escapes in the other direction.

For a one-pot pasta sauce, let chopped tomatoes soften with garlic, then stir in herbs and simmer uncovered to reduce the liquid. If you want to loosen the sauce before serving, add a little pasta water at a time and stir until it coats the spoon.

The non stick casserole also works for reheating thick dishes such as pumpkin curry or lentil stew. Add a splash of water if the sauce has thickened in the fridge, then stir as it heats. Start with a small amount so the finished dish keeps the consistency you want.

If you cook several portions at once, leave enough space above the ingredients to stir without spilling. Add leafy vegetables towards the end if you want them to stay bright. For soups with noodles, check the recipe timing and add the noodles when the broth is nearly ready.

The pot can go from the hob to a trivet when it’s time to serve. Place it where everyone can reach it comfortably and use a ladle for soups or a silicone serving spoon for thicker dishes. Keep a small plate nearby to rest the utensil between servings.

For cleanup, let the pot and lid cool before washing. A soft sponge with warm water and mild dish soap is a good choice for routine care. If some sauce has dried around the rim, let warm water soften it before wiping it away.

Dry the lid and the casserole before putting them away. If you store another pan inside, place a soft liner between the two pieces so they do not rub against each other. Keep the lid where it can sit securely without pressing against heavier cookware.

The MT-CR24 is a practical choice if you regularly cook dishes that begin with sautéing and finish with a simmer. It can handle a tomato and lentil stew one night and a vegetable curry the next, using the same basic steps: soften, add liquid, cover as needed, then adjust the texture before serving.

A dish such as dhal can be finished to suit the rest of the meal. Keep it looser to spoon over rice, or simmer it uncovered for a thicker side to serve with roti. The clear lid and coated interior make it easy to check the dish and stir as you go.
